I feel fully qualified to say awesome things about Melanie’s work, since I was part of a photo shoot with her! I had to share some of the great photos she took of my family. The session was mostly a celebration of my nephew, Ethan, and his mommy and daddy, but Melanie was totally game to let the whole gang take part in the photos. She brought us to a gorgeous picaresque location and got some great natural photos of us all together.

The picture below of all of us sitting on a log is one of my favorites. I have this photo as my desktop background and I love looking at it everyday, especially with having my family spread out across the world (the 7 of us on the log below represent residents of Seattle, Boston, Denmark and California).
